About this listen

 Fully Booked is a nod to the ever-expanding to-read pile, be it a stack of books by your bedside, an endless Kindle library, a 1,000+ Goodreads Want-to-Read list, or rows of nicely displayed books you’ve promised yourself you’ll crank through one of these days. We believe the feeling that you’ll never have enough time to tackle it all doesn’t have to be one of creeping dread; rather, it’s a reason to celebrate.Fully Booked Art
